The Palm Beach County Cooperative Extension/ IFAS will be offering an eight-class urban forestry series for professionals in the horticulture industry. Continuing education units (CEU’s) have been requested for pesticide applicators, FNGLA, LIAF, and ISA.

This series is a part of a project titled “Strengthening Our Community Tree Canopy through Education.” The project is made possible by a grant through the 2011 National Urban and Community Forestry Grant program, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the Florida Forest Service.

All classes will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Mounts Building Auditorium, 531 N. Military Trail, West Palm Beach.
